Don't Feed The Pig by Joe Stroffolino published on 2024-03-29T03:56:48Z Feels like we’re just creatures in a zoo Living with eight billion angry souls Someone needs to put up a big sign that says Don’t feed the angry trolls They say you shouldn’t wrestle with a pig Because in the end you’ll both get dirty But the pig will actually have fun And you’ll need a shower when you’re done When someone tosses red meat at you You can make the decision not to chew You can be like Dirty Harry - say make my day But sometimes it’s better to walk away You don’t need to go straight to defcon one With some random jerk who likes to argue for fun You don’t need to start world war three Just because you disagree People out there who are like pigs And they try to drag you into the mud They’re out there trying to provoke They make you angry and they think it’s all a joke For days you’ll replay the argument in your head While every night the pig sleeps comfortably in his bed Everyone thinks they’re right They don’t want to admit that maybe they were wrong They’ve had opinions for so long Sometimes you just have to let it go And realize that you’re not goanna change their mind Keep moving forward don’t look behind When someone tosses red meat at you You can make the decision not to chew You can be like dirty Harry - say make my day But sometimes it’s better to walk away If you’re going through life trying to make it through your busy day And a pig comes along with something provocative to say Just let it go in one ear and out the other side Don’t let that pig take you for a ride Don’t feed the pigs Just let them pontificate and go about your business and don’t take the bait Why can’t we all just get along Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song Why can’t we all just get along and accept the fact that sometimes we're wrong Why can’t we all just get along Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song Genre Rock Comment by DjB 😎😎 2024-04-18T06:27:21Z Comment by Eduard Shymanski great 2024-04-17T06:20:28Z Comment by Gino Di Nunno Joe!

Not taking the bait is a guiding principle I use to navigate my relationships not only with my friends, family, and neighbors, but with my fellow musicians on here. You have to ask yourself, what is the purpose of my communication? Is it to be right about something that I'm obviously not going to change any minds about, or is it to strengthen a relationship with someone I value? This song is particularly pertinent in the social media age. Great song, my friend! 2024-04-06T18:15:59Z Comment by Richsoundz Ain't there just a worldwide sty of rancid porcines out there...🐷🐽🙄.
